FOLLOWING the end of the war in Iraq, the Bush administration made a number of very bullish statements about their war on terrorism.
A week in which terrorists have struck in Chechnya, Israel, Morocco, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and the Yemen shows an American administration whose appreciation of the situation is as misplaced as is their approach to international terrorism. An approach that is generating more terrorist recruits than are being removed by their much-vaunted precision weaponry.
If they continue with their present approach George W Bush would be correct in one view, that the war on terrorism will be long and also unsuccessful leaving the world a much more dangerous place for Westerners.
